Has anyone taken their motorcycle down Deals Gap in NC?

Question:
Also known as the Dragon's Tail. It's an 11 mile streach of road with over 300 curves. My boyfriend and I are going in the next couple months. I just wanted to hear some stories.

Answers:

1981 Yamaha Virago?

I have and it was the biggest rush I EVER have had. My footboards on my 05 Softail Deluxe were dragging on the turns...but it was such a rush. Can't go fast, nor take your eyes off the road. It was gorgeous ride..a thrill. Do it if you have a chance!

Clutch case paint?

a bud on harley chat group is about a couple hours away from the gap, and he has said it's a very fun road to ride, but its also an unforgiving road with no guardrails...mountain on 1 side, drop-off on the other. u wont have any problems if u ride sane, and never take ur eyes off the road. it's rare but, some semi's take a wrong turn and wind up trapped having to negotiate the dragon's curves. be prepared for anything, especially sport cars that think its their own 'indy 500'.

Motorcycle permit?

BE CAREFUL there are always people wrecking on that road its very curvy and not for the inexperienced take it easy

Need good cycle GPS opinions.?


search it on youtube.com

If you ride, do you have 'organ donor' indicated on your license?

I see 51 beat me to it, I was going to recommend searching youtube. There are a number of video clips there under various names, some with cars, some with bikes, and many showing crashes caused by idiots riding way over their heads. Enjoy your trip and be safe.

The 2005 Aprilia RSV 1000 R is hot, who agrees?

You better watch your speed too. The cops are really clamping down this year on speeders through the dragon. 35MPH will be strictly enforced. Go too fast over that and you will lose your bike & license on the spot is the word going out lately.

Trouble poppin a wheely on a dirtbike. Anybody got answers?

It's a pretty good ride. Like was said though, the cops are looking at it really hard lately. To many sportbikes taking it to hard and wrecking. Visit the "Tree of Shame" at the store on the end. It has parts of bikes hanging on it from wrecks. While you're there, you need to ride the Cherohara parkway. It's a much better ride actually.

Pretty sure it's actually 118 curves, but who's counting...

If I were to go around town in my scooter and park it, whos to say someone wont just grab it??


I did it last year, while on my honeymoon. However, I did t in a friend's Porsche 914. I ride a bike in Aus, but couldn't get hold of one over there.

Can you upshift a motorcycle (specifically a sportbike) without using the clutch?


The Dragon was great fun, as was the Cherahola Skyway. Make sure you do that one too. Heck, all of the roads in the area were fun!
